Chlamydia is the most common bacterial STD in the US and Canada. In the US, 50% of women will have had the infection by the time they're 30 years old; it is likely that the rates in males are the same. About 3-6% of the US population is infected at any one time. The chances of getting chlamydia from an act of vaginal sex are between 40 and 60%. See related links for references.
There is not data to answer your question, but chlamydia is the #1 bacterial infection, infecting in the US 1.25 million people per year (reported; so the actual number is higher as some have no symptoms hence they don't know they are infected).
